Atiku exchanging pleasantries with Secondus at the PDP national convention/Twitter
The campaign office of former Vice President Atiku Abubakar has dismissed reports that he is planning to leave the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
In a statement to newsmen on Sunday, the campaign office described the claims as a malicious attempt to confuse the public about the aspiration of Atiku ahead of the forthcoming presidential primary Election of the opposition party.
As stated by the statement, the former Vice President remains the front-line aspirant for the presidential ticket of the PDP.
The campaign office stated that Atiku would continue is nationwide consultations this week with visits to the South West, North West and North Central zones of the country.
The statement reads in part: “Atiku’s passion and commitment to winning the PDP primaries is without any compromise and to assume that he will abandon the hard work he has done with the positive results he is getting from the stakeholders of the party is to say the least preposterous and unthinkable.
“The Campaign calls on supporters of Atiku to remain steadfast and see the contrived news of defection as an an attempt to distract it from the set task of winning the PDP ticket and the 2019 presidential election by the grace of God.”
